Total insanity. Working eighteen hour days promoting the Sleep with you album, running the record company, and trying to finish recording the new album, think we’re going to call it nothing is cohesive. I need some help. Can’t lose weight. Ever since Italy. Obsessed with it. I look in the mirror and feel like I am looking at some giant hideous pig. Work out over an hour every day. don't eat. The diet pills are freaking my system out. I don't actually sleep at night because there is so much caffeine in my system. I kind of drift in and out of these hallucinations, but never feel like I sleep. Haven't in months. It is no wonder I feel two steps away from going completely mad. The good news is that sleep with you is getting great radio airplay on college and rock stations. And we are making so much progress in so many other areas. Vancouver decided not to tour with the cheesy Latin singer, but to transcend. good for him. he will choose to be a God rather than a slave. I knew he had it in him. tax man is coming down on me and Cleo. We have less than two weeks to give them about ten times more than most people make in a year. And we don't have a dime. It will be very interesting to see what happens. i don't care now. I care about my music now. and I can do it in the street if I have to. I am obsessed with my art. with guitars. And with amps. And with new sounds. And with new songs. And with painting with words and music.  

Dig these lyrics from the last song on the last George Harrison recording, Brainwashed. Talk about going out with a bang! 
"Brainwashed in our childhood
Brainwashed by the school
Brainwashed by our teachers
and brainwashed by their rules 
Brainwashed b y our leaders
By our Kings and Queens
Brainwashed in the open and brainwashed
behind the scenes 
God God God
A voice cried in the wilderness
God God God
it was on the longest night
God God God
An eternity of darkness
God God God
Someone turned out the spiritual light 
Brainwashed by the Nikkei
Brainwashed by Dow Jones
Brainwashed by the FTSE
Nasdaq and secure loans
Brainwashed us from Brussels
Brainwashing us in Bonn
Brainwashing us in Washington
Westminster in London 
God God God
You are the wisdom that we seek
God God God
The lover that we miss
God God God
Your nature is eternity
God God God
You are Existence, Knowledge, Bliss 
The soul does not love, it is love itself
It does not exist, It is existence itself
It does not know, It is knowledge itself
"How to Know God" Page 103 
They brainwashed my great uncle
Brainwashed my cousin Bob
They even got my grandma when she was
working for the mob
Brainwash you while you're sleeping
While you're in a traffic jam
Brainwash you while you're weeping
While still a baby in your pram
Brainwashed by the Military
Brainwashed under duress
Brainwashed by the media
You're brainwashed by the press
Brainwashed by computer
Brainwashed by mobile phones
Brainwashed by the satellite
Brainwashed to the bone 
God God God
Won't you lead us through this mess
God God God
From the places of concrete
God God God
Nothing's worse than ignorance
God God God
I just won't accept defeat 
God God God
Must be something I forgot
God God God
Down on Bullshit Avenue
God God God
If we can only stop the rot
God God God
Wish that you'd brainwash us too"
